Questions about the Map Skills poster

Who is the Map Skills poster for?

Map Skills is filed under 4th Grade (ages 9–10), so it matches what that year asks a child to remember. It is equally useful to an older student revisiting social studies, and to the parent or teacher answering the question at the kitchen table.

When should you use the Map Skills poster?

Any map question in a test is one of these five things. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Map Skills belongs on the wall where that social studies work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Map Skills?

Latitude and Longitude, Levels of Government and Natural Resources sit alongside Map Skills in the 4th Grade set. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Latitude and LongitudeLevels of GovernmentNatural Resources

Is the Map Skills poster free to download and print?

Yes. Map Skills downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the 4th Grade set. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence

What size does the Map Skills poster print at?

Map Skills is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Map Skills loses nothing.Printing guide
